The greatest challenge is living your wounds through instead of thinking them through. It is better to cry than to worry, better to feel your wounds deeply than to understand them, better to enter into your silence than to talk about them.... You need to let your wounds go down to your heart. Then you can live through them and discover that they will not destroy you. Your heart is greater than your wounds. ~Henri Nouwen

I thoroughly believe this. Have lived it, and know it's true. Good thought :)
Good thought indeed. Very true. It reminds me of that part in The Secret Life of Bees when August spends a couple days at the river mourning...
